Thanks man!

I found a deal from another forum member on new 3.5" Black Diamond springs. Rusty's Off-Road was selling them for $35 a spring. I have been running them for over 6 years and they have been abused heavily. I couldn't pass this deal up because they springs were cheap and they were all the rear springs with 5 leafs. The shipping was $83 but the total for all the springs was $224. I ordered them yesterday and guess what arrived today.

My Federal tax return was deposited into my account today. My plans are to replace the entire exhaust and get a high flow cat from Summit racing (store is 30 min. from my apartment). My current exhaust is dangling by coat hangers and it has a splice with flexible tubing. Plus the manifold has a small crack at the collector as most do. I also want to replace my windshield.

I'm planning on getting a quote this weekend for the exhaust and see what I the damage is.

I went by Summit Racing today and picked up a Magnaflow cat. I already have a Flowmaster the exhaust shop said they could reuse. I also bought a new exhaust manifold to replace my cracked one.



I'll post back the new exhaust next week when I get it put on.

Thanks guys. I spent the weekend at my folks house and I helped my dad with his Toyota truck which I've yet to figure out the problem.

When I got home I figured I was still gross so I started tearing into the jeep. I took it to the exhaust shop Saturday morning and got a quote from the guy. I also said I was putting a new manifold on so I told him I'd bring it back after I got it on. So here I am.

My workspace...the parking lot. But with 70 degree weather I can't complain.

Disconnected everything.



Got the intake off.



Manifold off.



I thought it had a crack in it and it did but it was not as bad as I thought it was.





Now I sit at wait for the FedEx man.
